Clouds, The Collaborative Photo Mosiac

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the its-art-or-something dept.

jaric writes "Over at peffis.com users post their cell phone photos to a shared photo blog. The creator of the open source site now has invented what he calls Clouds. It is a combination of all the posted photos into one cloud, or mosaic. The result is quite fascinating. You can see the current cloud."

    I also am missing the point here. Is this generated with some really cool function-based language? Is it being done on a beowulf cluster of Sony-Ericssons? I see about 30 photos slapped together with some alpha channels... ummm... GREAT! Now, I'm going to go read the white pages cover to cover, because it's more interesting.

  2. It's a mosaic? by tuxguy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It might be nice if the cloud had more pcitures in it. As it is, it's not much of a mosaic. According to Dictionary.com, a Mosaic is:
    # A picture or decorative design made by setting small colored pieces, as of stone or tile, into a surface.

    I don't think it's much of a mosaic, as it doesn't form a large picture. I just don't get it.

    The image is not a photo mosaic, just a random collage of pictures. These are photo mosaics. (I'm the author of that program.)
